soldiers were what were known as three

company. Turning at the end of the
second, he did the same with them,
and so on through hundreds and hun

the sublime and the ridiculous, but
Lincoln didn't cross it, and although
under ordinary circumstances such pro-

chill, aided by their darkness and re-

uses in former days, were oppressive
and almost appalling. From the walls
oozed in places a trickling slime, while
from the roof extended the Shiny secre-

Robbed of His Diamonds.

ST. LOUIS, February %. - Signor
Cohen, well-known diamond broker,
horseman and bo1kmaker of ChiCa 20,
was robbed of 500 in money and 50. 900
worth OF diamonds a Pullman
sleeper, on the Iron Mountain Road,
last night, while on his way from Mem
phis to Chicago. Upon retiring. last
night, Cohen placed his case of
diamonds in the inner pocket of his
coat, which he hung up in his
berth. When dressing, this morn
ng, he discovered that he had
zen robbed OF the diamonds and of
tSe 500 in money. Investigation
showed that the occupants of an ad-
joining berth who bad watched Cohen's
actions closely during the previous
evening, and who jumped from the
train at South st. Louis, leaving their
tickets TO Chicago with the porter,
we're the probable robbers. A descrip-
tioa of the men has been telegraphed to

fisheries, made long report as to the
difficulties existing in the conference
and which prevented agreement. The
irreconciIable point of difference be-
tween the managers on the part OF the
two houses is reported to be the in
sistance on the part of the House mana
gers to and TO the scope of the Senate
bill fourth provision, that in case OF
iniurious treatment to American YES
seIs in British North American waters,
il shall be within the competence of
the President to stop intercourse abso-
luteIy, not only by water but by land,
thus cutting off the continuous move
ment of railway trains from british
Provinces to any part of the United
States, and in effect reciprocally from
the United States to the British
DOminions. Senate managers had
felt it to be their duty to decline
to go to that extent. 1t seemed clear to
The Senate managers, and was not con-
troverted by the House managers, that
the things which the President was au-
thorized to do Oy the Senate bill were
not in derogation of any treaty rights,
or of the peaceful influence of the
rations, and were not done in a spirit
of belligerency, but merely as matter
of countervailing business regulations.
The result of the conference had been
that the House of Representatives,
through its managers, did not object 10
the Senate bill, but desired to add
new and enlarged provisions to 1t;
while the Senate managers were
not willing to go to that extent. The
Senate managers had felt it their duty
on this important matter to report this
state of things at once to the Senate for
its information. The report is signed
by the three Senate cOnferees-Senators
Edmunds, Frye and Morgan.
Whitthorne submitted the point that
the paper read was not within the
province of the conference committee,
in imating in the course of his remarks,
that the action of the House in this
matter was in consonance with the
views of the administration.
Morgan, one of the conterees, de-
Tended the action of the Senate con-
ferees in presenting the paper.
He asked whether there was any
Senator willing to say that the
PRESIDENT might issue proc
lamation of nou-inrer couse between the
people of Canada and the people OF the
United States? Would any Senator
expect that the President who would
proclaim non-intercourse would be sus-
tanned in that policy for three months?
The subject was temporarily dropped
and the Senate bill to prohibit the mail
ing of newspapers and other periodicals
containing lottery advertisements was
taken up and passed.
Sherman (Ohio) offered resolution
providing for the daily meeting of the
Senate at II a. m. Laid over till to-
morrow.
The Senate then went into secret
session for executive business, ap-
parently for the purpose of resuming,
with closed doors, the discussion which
had been cut short on the report of the
conferees on the fishery fill.
After twenty minutes of secret session
the Senate adjourned.

Bits From Berlin.

BERLIN, February 28.-A dispatch
from Strasburg to the Post announces
that government has issued an order
for the dissolution of the union of Alsa
tan choral societies, it being suspected
that the union assisted in the objects of
the French League of Patriots. 1t is
further reported that laws dealing with
societies will be vigorously enforced

permit be applied to civilians; that the
societies whose rules forbid the admis-
sion of Germans to membership of the
societies which, as a matter of common
knowledge, exclude Germans, be dis
solved. Some law is considered neces-
sary to deal with the French emissar-
les, press correspondents and others
who, it is claimed, have been acting as
electoral agents. melting malcontents
freely visiting the Notifications, and
doing the work of spies. The advocates
of effective Communication desire a
temporary suspension of electoral
rights.
Hanover Scher Courier says: Asa

the results of the elections be the ap
plication to their provinces of laws OF
absolute dictatorship. When made TO
understand that
ANOTHER WAR WITH FRANCE
will be the complete ruin OF the provinces,
the Alsatians, perhaps, will be ready
to vote for the German candidates.
On the other hand the BoerSen Courier
contends that the real conquest OF the
provinces will be the work of genera
ton and demands patience. 1t adds:
Their feeling of patriotism to-day,
shown toward France, will revert to
Germany when the justice of German
rule effaces from the minds of the peo-
pie the effects of two centuries of French
domination.
Windlhorst has written an indignant
denial of the statement of Nothing,

the aid of foreign power. In conse-
quence, the new German Liberals of
Magdeburg, the Socialists of Berlin and
elsewhere, threaten to abstain from
supporting the new German Liberal
candidates in the supplementary cleo
tons. At a meeting of the Taxation
Reform Association, held at Berlin,
resolution was passed, favoring the
abolition or reduction, under national

that immense orders have been given
